About SydneyMama's Turn for a

Sydney has shown remarkable resilience. She’s about 3 years old and weighs just under 60 lbs. After surviving on the streets of Miami with five newborn puppies, she landed safely with rescue and finally got the care she so badly needed. Now that her puppies are grown and her mama days are behind her, Sydney has discovered she loves being around people and is ready for a new chapter. Sydney is high-spirited, active, and adores snuggling up to watch a movie at night. She seeks a semi-active adopter who wants a partner for adventures and lazy evenings alike. Because she gets anxious and over-excited around other animals, she’ll need to be the only pet in the home. Sydney is spayed, house trained, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped, and dewormed. She’s waiting for someone who’ll appreciate both her playful energy and her soft side. Born July 16 (that makes her a Cancer—tender-hearted, loyal, and loving). Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
